If you're worried that you might be running out of space on your Mac, OS X makes it easy to figure out how much space you have left.</p> <!--break--> <p>Your Mac's hard drive should always have at least 10 percent of its space free. Not only do you need it to save files, but your Mac uses free space for other things. Your Mac periodically writes out files to disk like virtual memory repositories, logs, and other content. What's more, the apps you run will need space to write out content as well.</p> <p>If space gets too small, your Mac will throw out a warning. But it's a good idea to stay ahead of that by having at least a general idea of how much space is available.</p> <h1>How to review remaining space on your Mac hard drive</h1> <ol><li>Click on the <strong></strong> menu.</li> <li>Select <strong>About this Mac</strong>. <a href='http://www.imore.com/how-view-remaining-storage-space-your-mac' title="How to check the storage space on your Mac"><img src='?itok=u2MvPke_' />[/url]</li> <li>Click on the <strong>Storage</strong> tab.</li> <li>Check how much free space you have on your Mac. <a href='http://www.imore.com/how-view-remaining-storage-space-your-mac' title="How to check the storage space on your Mac"><img src='?itok=SwnSfumN' />[/url]</li> </ol><p>Now that you know how to check how much space you have available on your Mac find out how to figure out what's using that space.</p> <ul><li>How to find out what's using space on your Mac's hard drive</li> </ul><p>Also, taking care of your Mac's hard disk (or flash drive) is important.
